Assessment of the threat environment is a critical element in the
formulation of any state's strategy and defense doctrine. It also
should be an inherently critical process that seeks to free
policymakers from incorrect, antiquated, or misconceived
perceptions about the threat. Consequently, the nature of the
threat(s) the United States or any other government faces is the
subject of a never-ending debate. For several years U.S.
policymakers, officials, and writers on defense have employed the
terms "asymmetric" or "asymmetry" to characterize everything from
the nature of the threats we face to the nature of war and beyond.
This monograph challenges the utility of using those terms to
characterize the threats we face, one element of the broader debate
over the nature of war, U.S. strategy, and the threats confronting
us. As a work of critique, it aims to make an important
contribution to the threat debate.
